Yeah, so, when anxiety spins your stomach in circles at the break of dawn and your mind races like the speed of the Triple Crown winner and the world feels all upside down and right side up at the same time - that’s when you know you need it most.
To sit.
To breathe.
To talk to Jesus and listen to Jesus.
Because the crazier this wild, exciting world gets the more still our wild, anxious hearts need to be.
There’s nothing but good that comes from a quiet time of listening. Soaking in breath from the God-breathed Word. Our life is given new life when we choose the life-blood that pumps through us in the form of spirit pumping truth.
Intravenous. That’s how Jesus gives life - right at the source where we need it most.
It was Martin Luther King Jr. that said it best…”I have so much to do that I shall spend the first three hours in prayer.”
So when your morning is already going 60mph and your head and your heart need something that you just aren’t getting from all the getting around in life - sit still. Allow yourself to be filled by the very presence of the God who gave you life.
Go ahead, grab your liquid grace poured into your coffee mug all steamy and savor your warm caffeine while savoring the Words of the Holy Bible.
Listen to his still voice.
Sit in the cocoon of His grace filled presence.
Breathe in Jesus and exhale the world so you can make room for what really fuels you for the day.
